Part 3/8:
My First Six Months on YouTube
In my first six months, I focused solely on uploading long-form videos. I gained 640 subscribers and over 2,200 watch hours—enough to put me on track for monetization. While I was aware that many creators found success with YouTube Shorts, I hadn't experimented with them at that time. I posted one to two videos weekly, always striving to improve with each new upload.
